In the Second century, during a time of terrible oppression and great anxiety, a group of mystics from the Galilee retreated to the forest to realign the spiritual world and to bring healing to humanity. The Kabbalists of the tenth century in Spain reimagined this event through painting different aspects of the face of God through the language of poetry.  Our culminating event will create its own version through the flowering poetic minds of contemporary Kabbalah teachers, along with this year’s fellows at LABA.  LABA, the Laboratory for Jewish Culture, is an NYC-based fellowship program where an eclectic mix of culture-makers delve into Jewish texts in an effort to recreate these stories and spark new art, and to push the boundaries of what Jewish texts can teach.
